My SXSW

I’m getting pretty excited about SXSW now (and a tad nervous about the panel I’ll be sat on). I’ve already started making those essential lists before going travelling anywhere, you know, all the essentials needed for 10 days away from home: Pants, Coat (although not sure I’ll need this, have you seen the temperature in Austin!), Socks, Laptop, Cash etc. etc.

In addition to these lists I’ve also made a list of what I’m planning on attending during the day. If you happen to be in the same panel, come and say hello—if I’m not too jetlagged, I may even say hello back! Anyway, here’s my list…
